I remember playing this game as the green knight always because I just liked their poison attack combos. Fighting for the kiss with my brother was the ultimate sign of dominance at my time
Red is the best starter for magic, the thunder attack can just be held, it shreds through health and the electrical magic balls hit hard, i would always some how end up kicking the asses of people who were higher level than me when i played online... and 500% of the time they rage quit bc they got rekt by a level 36 as a level 52
This game was my childhood, also anybody notice how the crowd during the boss fight and the fight for the princes is just the same jpeg of the barbarian copy and pasted in a jpeg, and how the ends of the crowd shake violently? So nice to see castle crasher animations made with such random ness and comedy, and nice to see castls crasher animations in 2022
@@Ttegegg they just stopped updating it and let it to rott, never touching it again, but for alien hominid that's different because they still update that
had this on the xbox 360 and managed to get the full game. was and still am a master. maxed out all my tats, too! (i was always the blue one) thanks for bringing back so many memories!!
i played with the blue too, and i have the game till now even then console have too much powder inside him this are still playable atlest, and yeah i max out one of my characters stats
Gave me memories of being a 3 year old playing this on my uncles Xbox arcade. 13 years later I bought the remastered and loved it. It's simple 2d beat em up indie gameplay and wackiness made me fall in love. Easily one of my favorites.
Oh my god i absolutely loved this game back then i would play nonstop and eventually i beat the game (more than once with diffrent characters but blue was my main :) ) and when the remastered version came out on the xbox one i was OVERJOYED it was nice to play with internet strangers too and it also let me know ppl remeber this game which makes me so happy Heheh sorry for ranting on and on. I just loved this game so much, so many memories!
2:31 this reminds me of a bug I found while farming the boss for money where I killed the boss so quick that after he fell and died one of the grunts got out and started chasing me around the stage (didn't want to attack them) and when I went to kiss the princess the grunt attacked me making the kissing scene cancelled which allowed me to move around in the boss stage. Ps: was playing pink knight because they are my favorite character
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR I THOUGHT PEOPLE FORGOT THIS GAME EXISTED My siblings and I would play it nonstop on the Xbox 360 when we were little. Only me and my little brother actually beat the game though (The ending was freakin AMAZING). My dad got us the remastered version once we got the Xbox One and my siblings and I replayed the whole game for nostalgia again lol. And again, only me and my little brother beat the whole thing. Sorry for the tangent, I just freakin love this game
For me it was the demo because my family was broke as HAIL Me and my brothers played the hell out of that small demo,40 hours worth Eventually 2 years ago we got the remastered version and I’ve slaughtered everyone with a maxed magic Alien
@@Bioboi7566 Haha yea, my dad got us the full game once he realized how much we loved it. The remastered version was just a nice nostalgic throwback for me and my siblings. My main was (and still kinda is) the blue knight and I always used whichever weapon we unlocked that was the best. But after we got the DLC, I ended up playing the pink knight a lot lol
The fact I've been playing this game for like 9 years is crazy, love the animation and I thought everyone forgot about this game it's 1 of the most recent animation for Castle Crashers
Fighting for the princess's kiss with my sister was funny. I almost always won. My game broke or something on my Xbox 360, but we managed to fix it, so I've been playing it more recently. I love this game. I can't remember all my stats exactly, but I've maxed out my magic on my green knight. The green knight is my favorite.
I loved playing this game with my family So many years ago on the PS3, it was so fun using ✨ magic✨ to fight bad guys and each other for the princess! The bosses were so creative too, and to this day I still love it all!💕
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a quick building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. A good placement and timing with Guards and The Log will fully counter the Hog Rider, canceling all Hog hits. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough. Also Nice animation btw
This is how my first conversation when loading up the game with my friends for the first time: “but I wanna be the fire guy” “No hes mine” “Hey can I be red” “Fuck you no” “alr I’ll be green”
thanks for bringing back the memories this game was insanely awesome for its time, well all the battlegrounds games are and u are as well for making this animation and takin me back to the good ol days, btw the green knight ending was so chadlike
Castle crashers was the first game I ever played, I got it on switch again after playing on the xbox 360 and i'm almost at level 100 with the red night then my goals will be settled to honor this masterpiece for being my first game i love castle crashers this funy thanks
I loved it castle crashers was my child hood for 8 years I also love the Comedy, is the 2:43 end message true though also people reading this go check out unusual yike’s catfish animation or katfish
I remember playing this game with my dad, I used to be really bad and my dad was really good lol, I would always be the pink Knight and my dad would always be the blue Knight, at least it's one of the things I remember about him, I love and miss you dad❤🕊 (My dad is dead btw)
Brings back Nostalgia from when Me and my 2 older brothers played this on 360. I was the green Knight, My second oldest was the Blue, My oldest was Red. Good Times.
I liked how they sometimes turns in a image form other game or thing Red Knight:original game Blue Knight: plush Green Knight: Minecraft skin Yellow: nothing lol
Used to play this with my Uncle, and brother. My uncle played Orange, Brother Blue and I was Red. I was shit at it. But once we beat the game the first time and I unlocked the skeleton character i remember being so excited! Good times. (Also fighting over the crocodile mount in the level after the Barabarian Boss)
I remember playing this game as the green knight always because I just liked their poison attack combos. Fighting for the kiss with my brother was the ultimate sign of dominance at my time
Yeah sme
And yeah I accedentely chose green knight
I was red knight first cus electricity go zap
I usually use red knight but I used to be the alien the most
Red is the best starter for magic, the thunder attack can just be held, it shreds through health and the electrical magic balls hit hard, i would always some how end up kicking the asses of people who were higher level than me when i played online... and 500% of the time they rage quit bc they got rekt by a level 36 as a level 52
You don't just CASUALLY remind people of one of if not THE BEST beat-em-up style game ever.
Don't care if people see it as that, cuz I do.
i see it as a beat em up too OMG XD
What else would anyone call it? Music and art style are fantastic, probably one of the best soundtracks I've listened to

Good times on xbox 360, Thanks for the nostalgia trip bro!

THIS BRINGS ME A LOT OF NOSTALGIA ❤
HOW I LOVED THIS GAME, YOU REMINDED ME OF THIS MASTERPIECE
im happy people still remember this game
I Remember when I played this game so much. This give me nostalgia, those sounds, music :')
i was not expecting to see a castle crashers fan animation in 2022 but im so fucking glad that i have
Dude castle crashers is so underrated
This looks and feels like it was made a decade ago on new grounds. I love it
Used to play this with my Uncle, and brother. My uncle played Orange, Brother Blue and I was Red.
I was shit at it. But once we beat the game the first time and I unlocked the skeleton character i remember being so excited!
Good times. (Also fighting over the crocodile mount in the level after the Barabarian Boss)
